[KWPeace-groups] WR Nonviolence Day In The Park, Sat 10 Sept 2022

[Bob Jonkman]

Hi again! A quick update: This summer Roos Island in Willow River Park 
is the home for people from FightBackKW, who are working on getting 
affordable housing in Waterloo Region. So instead of holding the WR 
Nonviolence Day In The Park on the island, the WR Nonviolence Day In The 
Park will be near the clock tower in Willow River Park, still on 
Saturday, 10 September 2022.

Map:  https://osm.org/go/ZXnwTSw6--?m=

We anticipate this location will actually result in more foot traffic 
from passers-by, the better for everyone to reach out and advocate for 
nonviolence and social justice issues (and sell artwork, jewelry, books, 
toys, hats, scarves, mittens, and membership fees).

Also a quick reminder to our vendors and "commercial" exhibitors selling 
artwork, jewelry, books, &c. - the Early Bird pricing of $40 for a spot 
ends on 10 August (next week!), and will be $50 from 11 August onwards. 
Non-profit community group spots continue to be free.

Register now at

And see you in the park for WR Nonviolence DITP!
